Artifacts

A few minutes later, Theo found a group of five returned to their camp. The one who walked at the very front was none other than Alea's mother.

Upon noticing Theo, she quickly reappeared in front of him with a brightened expression. She scanned Theo up and down before smiling, "How are you?"

Theo's body flinched as he took a step back. "I-I'm fine."

"That's good." She nodded and grabbed Theo's hand. "I will check your power with my own power to see whether the power of Death is still lingering in your body or not."

"A-ah. Okay?"

After a minute, she closed her eyes and nodded. "I think you won't need to worry for the time being. I can check your body a bit more after this. How about you wait for me there?"

Theo glanced at his tent and agreed.

He walked to his tent while Nadia took care of a few things before returning to him.

Curious, Alea also approached them, trying to see what her mother was doing.
